Note: This review contains SPOILERS As I mentioned in my editorial on the series, part of the reason why I watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars – in spite of the fact that most of it was bad – is because I’d heard that there would be more connective tissue between that show, and Star Wars … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Path of the Jedi”
Over the past few months I’ve watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars in its entirety. I’m still not sure why I did this. It started as curiosity – I have been enjoying Lucasfilm Animation’s new series Star Wars Rebels, so I figured I might as well give their previous show a shot, but very quickly this proved … Continue reading I Watched STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS So You Don’t Have To

The episode begins with a group of young … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Breaking Ranks”
